To show that the moment of a couple does not depend on the point about which you take the moments, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define a Couple A couple consists of two equal and opposite forces acting parallel to each other. Let’s denote these forces as \( F \) and \( -F \), separated by a distance \( d \). ### Step 2: Choose a Point for Moment Calculation Let’s consider a point \( O \) from which we will calculate the moment (torque) of the couple. ...
